Calling all GRAPHICS CARDS EXPERTS


I recently purchased a 3DPower Morpheus Geforce3 Ti500 64 MB graphics card from.....ahem............E-Bay however received no drivers for it.......so I downloaded the most recently updated Nvidia driver as recommend by the seller.

I have windows XP
ECS K7S5A mobo (with most up to date BIOS)
The above graphics card X 4 enabled in the BIOS (Can see no option for fast writes in the bios)
256mb of DDR ram

Now the card performs well in general when playing the likes of the new Halo demo however when I play games which appear to have extremes areas of darkness ie Splinter Cell + Max Payne where the area appears dark I get green triangles appearing and flickering on the screen. Can someone please advise ?!!!

Thats Nvidia drivers for ya.

I cant find a driver at all for 3dPower infact I cant even find a site for 3dpower

[Darthgary]

The 3D Power will not require 3D Power drivers, only the Detonator drivers from Nvidia's site.

I never thought I would see that day that the "ATI camp" would have the nerve to comment negatively on Nvidia drivers....

You should try some of the older drivers available on the Nvidia Driver Archive page. The v30.82 drivers seem to offer the best compromise between performance and stability for the older GeForce cards.

I'm running the 40.72 with no problem on my VisionTek GF3 Ti500.

Cant hurt to try it I presume I just uninstall the newer drivers then install the older driver or is there another procedure.

I usually use Detonator Destroyer . Download the new driver to a folder(I keep a download folder on my desktop with all of my downloads), uninstall the video driver and reboot to the default VGA drivers, run Det Destroyer and install the new drivers from your download folder.
